Mentoring.

I am committed to increasing diversity and support for under-represented minorities in our community, especially women in STEM.
Here are some of the mentorship and community support efforts I am or have been involved in:

Media.

I appeared in eight episodes across two seasons of the Discovery Science channel program 'NASA's Unexplained Files', talking about
interesting planets discoveries. Click above for a short clip about Kepler-186f.

I sat down recently with writer and director Ali Alvarez, to be interviewed for her new upcoming documentary entitled "Under The Same Stars", about
female astrophysicists in the US. The film is planned for release in 2018.

The astronomers behind System Sounds (particularly postdoc Matt Russo) have created a beautiful visual and aural experience of our new exoplanet system. It is SO COOL.
Every time one of the planets passes between us and the star, it makes a note. The tone of the note (how high or low it is) is determined by the planet's orbital period.
It sounds so pretty because of the cool chain of resonances that these planets are in! Have a listen!

Outreach.

I love talking to the public about astronomy, our beautiful sky, and the exciting hunt for planets
outside out solar system. I am so lucky that I get the opportunity!
